and out at Arlington’s newest visitor
destinations, Texas Live! and the

to provide meaningful opportunities
to MWBE businesses. “It’s huge to
have a large facility like this in our
portfolio, and it’s a great opportunity
for us to show the quality and high
level of safe work we are capable of.”
Company President Jeff Postell
said he learned about construction
opportunities for the $250 million
world-class dining, entertainment
and hospitality district through the
National Association of Minority
Contractors DFW Chapter. The Fort
Worth-based company was among
several minority and women-
owned businesses selected by the
Texas Rangers and The Cordish
Companies to help make Texas Live!
and the adjacent 14-story hotel and
conference center become a reality
in The American Dream City. As a lifelong Texas Rangers fan,
Postell said it has been rewarding
to work with the Rangers and its
developer on these high-profile
venues that have helped to
expanded Post L Group’s portfolio
even further. Postell’s company,
founded in 2015, has construction
experience in office, retail, hospitality
and education, including the
renovation of Arlington ISD’s Starrett
Elementary School.
“Being a small company doesn’t lend
to many opportunities on “mega
projects” so the emphasis placed on
including small and diverse firms
is extremely important,” Postell
said about the commitment by the
At Live! by Loews, which opens in
August, Post L Group Construction
is managing millwork installation
of decorative wood cabinets and
paneling as well as managing
the painter on the project. The
company is also working on interior
and exterior wall framing, ceiling
installation and drywall installation.
The company’s work can be seen
throughout Texas Live!, including the
decorative cedar on the exterior of
the restaurants as well as the trellises
dotting The Plaza near the new
Globe Life Field.
“Visiting Texas Live!, I would say one
of the things I’m particularly fond of
is the decorative wood we installed,”
Postell said. "All in all, it’s a beautiful
place. It’s very eye catching.”
